Will & Rusty's Playdate

Rusty panics about a mistake he made at dinner, Will fangirls over MJ Lenderman, and Lauren relives a weed nightmare in the dining hall. The boys also talk about how songs are associated with certain memories, cool versus evil professors, powdered alcohol, and New Girl. Finally, they do one of their favorite segments—country songs that don’t exist—and think of ways to tell their friends their fly is down.

Will and Rusty dissect a pizza dilemma, the ethics of wearing your high school championship ring, getting in trouble as a kid, and Skyline Chili. A Playmate pitches an invention that’s about to change the popsicle game, and Willy’s roommate, Gerry, makes an appearance. The boys also battle through a brutal prank call about a too-tall sauna before wrapping up by drafting their favorite ways to say they’re using the restroom—and how to ask for the check.
